Actually, the Navy mascot is not a ram it is a goat. According to some, the reasoning as to why the goat became the US Navy mascot, is that ships used to set sail with a variety of livestock in order to provide fresh food for those onboard. Goats, happened to be part of the livestock. In exchange for the garbage, leftovers and undesirable food, the goats would provide sailors with milk and butter.
